Subject:Westy conversion needs
From:Mike Miller
Date:Fri, 8 Oct 2010 11:13:32 -0700

Just finishing up the conversion of my syncro from a Country Homes top and
interior to a Westy top and interior [actually I'd put another Westy
interior in it previously so that's what I'm replacing, blue for brown]

Anyway van is like 90% complete. Now all I need is to finish up the other
90%. Little things like extra lights in back so I can read. Changing all the
accessories over to the coach battery. Putting a fan in behind the frig to
exhaust the hot air [only put in the one connection, the external
electrical, but I'm looking for two more exterior covers so it will look
stock - one will be blank, no hole behind it, the other I'm planning to put
the exhaust fan. Just got to figure how to hold the cover open when the fans
on, although I may just drill lots of tiny holes through it.

Oddly though I hooked up the propane and there's no leaks so far, now that's
never happened before. Started the stove. Works fine but the knobs turn
backwards? Weird. Most weird is the frig started right up, and kept working
even when I drove it. Hm. Sounds like a plot to me.

Still need some door checks too. So anyone have external covers or door
checks for sale?

Mike
